The Willys Jeepster was produced from 1948-1950 as a stylish and versatile "sport phaeton" that bridged the rigged Willys Jeep and a passenger car. Designed by famed industrial designer Brooks Stevens, the Jeepster was one of the last true phaetons built in America.

1948: Approximately 10,326 units built
Wheelbase: 104 inches
Weight: Approximately 2700 pounds

The 1948 Jeepster was marketed as the perfect family convertible: rugged enough for the outdoors, yet refinded for in-town cruising. Today, properly restored examples like this are highly collectible.
